Governor Allows Voter Residency Bill to Become Law
Governor Mark Gordon has taken action on the final outstanding piece of legislation from the 2025 Wyoming Legislative Session. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
Governor Gordon on Friday allowed House Bill 156, the voter residency bill to become law without his signature. Gordon, in a media release, reiterated his confidence in how elections in Wyoming are conducted and that he believes only citizens who are state residents should vote, but questioned the arbitrary nature and the legality of the legislation’s 30-day residency requirement.
The Governor noted in his letter to Secretary of State Chuck Gray that the thirty-day residency requirement conflicts with federal law that prohibits a durational residency requirement to vote for the President or Vice President of the United States. The Governor also stated in his letter that the Act’s “any indication” standard for rejection of voter registration might present challenges for clerks to administer with any degree of certainty.
The bill was the number one priority of Secretary Gray’s Election Integrity Agenda announced in December of 2024. Gray said that HB 156 now becoming law marks a pivotal moment for election integrity in Wyoming.

Only citizens should be allowed to vote. The voter integrity issue is foundational to our self-governing republic. That’s why the dems tried to flood this country with “future” democrat voters. It would have fundamentally changed everything in America.
Just look at the destruction of Europe caused primarily by the Soros-backed flood of illegal aliens from foreign countries.
We may have caught it just in time. Maybe not. Time will tell.
We can only save America if a majority are still willing to stand up and speak up, for what is right.

looks like sticky business
sometimes, the devil is in the details
this one is important to get right
odds are this will determine the outcome in close elections, and we all want confidence the the winner is who we want (and not someone clever who found their way in against the voters’ will)

And President Trump just did the same nationally.
Imagine, only American citizens allowed to vote in an American election.
What a concept.
Maybe no more 2020, coup-style, election fraud!
